Intraosseous blood samples are suitable for testing

The correlation between marrow and blood analysis for liver function tests and CK is sufficiently accurate in an emergency situation” Eriksson et al (2016).

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Intraosseous (IO) access can be established faster than a venous or arterial access when there is an urgent need for rapid initiation of treatment. The access can also be used to draw marrow samples. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential use of IO samples for enzyme determinations using a porcine model.
